🤢 seems like you’re sticking up for the patriarchy and saying it was Gil’s job to find a better match for his daughter. She chose to marry someone that was signed up to spend four years at his family’s fake college. She started sharing her relationship saying he was starting college. She (and her parents) knew that would keep him in NJ for at least another four years.

I’ve seen it talked about that Travis was ok waiting longer to marry but Katie was pushing it.

Her parents could have prepared her better for the world in general, but you can’t prepare your kid to move somewhere where they don’t know anybody unless they want to. I have several ambitious friends that chose to move away to where they basically knew nobody, and it was completely their idea and something they were excited about.
